THE ARCHITECT Completing his Masters of Architecture degree at the University of Utah in 1991, Michael Upwall went on that same year to found Upwall Design Architects. A Utah native, he has a critical understanding of the area’s unique topography, climate and geography and has a knack for creating sustainable living spaces. Michael’s design philosophy is centered around the belief that a home should literally “grow” out of the earth; a natural extension of the landscape. He believes that a home should be an organic entity, truly timeless in nature, and should present itself as if it has always been there. This nature friendly philosophy has its roots in the upwall design architects Craftsman Movement, exemplified in the works of Green and Frank Lloyd Wright. Michael’s artistic creativity, knowledge and cutting-edge drafting skills not only combine for a magnificent end result at Enclave at Sun Canyon, but have also positioned him as one of the most sought after architects in the Park City area. upwalldesign.com
